The Growth of the AA Dealer Network Programme: Celebrating Two Years of Success

Published 10th September 2024Read Time 6 min

It gives us great pleasure to look back on the amazing trip that the AA Ireland Dealer Program has taken us on as we celebrate its second anniversary. This accomplishment shows the enormous influence we have had on the Irish auto industry in addition to marking two years of growth. Over the past two years, a lot has happened, including the launch of the AA Approved Dealer and AA Approved Car Programs and the development of a strong network of top-performing dealers.

A Journey of Growth and Success

The AA Dealer Network Program has expanded and developed significantly since its launch. The initiative, which began with the goal of building a dependable and trustworthy network of auto dealers, has grown to include an amazing 344 dealers throughout Ireland. Together, these dealers have sold an incredible 26,407 vehicles, all of which display the reputable AA Approved quality stamp.

This expansion is evidence of the program’s effectiveness and the faith that dealers and clients have in us. But it’s not all about the stats. It concerns our influence on the automotive industry and how we have improved the transparency, reliability, and ease of use of the used car purchasing process for Irish consumers.

Impact on the Car Market and Customers

In the auto industry, the AA Approved Dealer Program has redefined standards. Our network of dealers guarantees that each car sold is thoroughly inspected and approved, providing clients with peace of mind and confidence in their purchase choices. This dedication to quality has raised the bar for the entire industry in addition to improving our dealers’ reputations.

The AA Approved Car Programme provides a number of advantages to buyers. Purchasing an AA Approved Car is an investment in peace of mind as much as a car. A background check, a minimum of a 12-month AA roadside rescue cover and a thorough 101-point vehicle inspection conducted by independent AA engineers are all included with every AA Approved Car. These guarantees are what have made our programme a go-to choice for those seeking quality and reliability in the used car market.
